Badminton The Game

Hello again.

Last time, I talked about the origins of badminton. This time, I am going to talk about how Badminton has been involved in many events including the Summer Olympics since 1992. If you are a beginner, you must start with basic strokes such as spin shots. The strokes can be played forehand and backhand so it is entirely up to you. Once the player has mastered the basic types of strokes, they can hit the shuttlecock anywhere on the court. The entire width of a badminton court is about 20 feet. However, when singles are played the width is about 17 feet. The entire length of a badminton court is about 44 feet. In its edges, the height of the net is about 5.1 feet while at the center, height is 5 feet. There are no specifications regarding the height of the ceiling but it goes without saying that the height should enough for a player to make a lofty serve  They can now learn the advanced type of skills for badminton such as slicing dropshot's and deception. Deception is when you think the other player is going to hit the shuttlecock in one direction but he/she hits in the other direction. Therefore you couldn't get to the shuttlecock quick enough and so you lose the point. Deception is used by many advanced players such as players in China and North Korea. Singles involves two players in which one player is one side on the court while the other player is on the other side. Doubles involves four players altogether on the court where two players play on each side. In doubles you can play side to side or front to back. In singles, you have to move around the court a bit more.
